👨‍🍳 Method

For the Velouté

  1. 1
    Melt the canola oil in a small saucepan and fry the garlic in it for a minute.
    StoveSmall saucepan
  2. 2
    Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring, into a smooth roux.
    Stove
  3. 3
    Add the stock gradually, whisking vigorously.
    Whisk
    💡Hot stock goes into the roux gradually and with whisking: that way there are no lumps. Cold stock poured in all at once leaves lumps of flour.
  4. 4
    Add the soy sauce, salt and black pepper and cook until the sauce thickens.
    Stove

To assemble

  1. 5
    Cut the potatoes into thick fries. Soak 30 minutes in cold water.

  2. 6
    Pat dry well and fry in two rounds: 6 minutes at medium heat, then 3 minutes at high heat.
    Stove
    💡The first frying cooks the potato, the second gives it the crust: that way the fries are crisp outside and soft inside.
  3. 7
    Drain and sprinkle with salt.
    Colander
  4. 8
    Place the fries in a bowl, sprinkle with the cheese and pour the hot sauce over the top. Serve right away.
